Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF vs Vanguard Diversified All Growth Index ETF

Key differences at a glance
Neither DHHF nor VDAL is the "right" pick for everyone; it comes down to what you want from the holding. Where they differ most:
Category scores compare these two ETFs only and are not absolute ratings.
DHHF has the lower management fee - the one objective "cheaper" axis.
DHHF is the larger fund. Larger is not inherently better, but greater scale can support tighter spreads and lower closure risk.
DHHF and VDAL offer similar breadth of exposure.
DHHF distributes approximately 2.2% and VDAL approximately 2.4%; VDAL carries the higher estimated distribution yield. A higher yield may suit an income focus; a lower one may suit a growth or tax-efficiency focus. Yields are estimates and are not guaranteed; past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
Green highlights the factually lower fee or higher scale/income figure. Performance is never highlighted. Data from issuer disclosures, reviewed quarterly; sector and geography figures for some funds are category-inferred estimates, clearly labelled on each fund's page.
Yield figures are estimates based on recent distributions and may vary. Past distributions are not a reliable indicator of future distributions.

Whether DHHF or VDAL fits comes down to your goals, time horizon and what you already hold. The clearest differences are summarised near the top of this page, with the full data below.
DHHF and VDAL have approximately 92% estimated holdings overlap (look-through of underlying funds). This is considered high overlap, estimated from listed top holdings rather than the full constituent lists.
DHHF has the lower management fee. DHHF charges 0.19% per year ($19 per year on a $10,000 investment) and VDAL charges 0.27% per year ($27 per year on a $10,000 investment). The difference is $8 per year per $10,000 invested.
DHHF (Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF) manages approximately $1.3B and VDAL (Vanguard Diversified All Growth Index ETF) manages approximately $339.4M. Fund size can affect liquidity and bid-ask spreads but does not by itself change the management fee.
You can hold both, but with approximately 92% estimated holdings overlap the two funds hold a high proportion of the same companies, so holding both means paying two sets of management fees on largely the same exposure. Whether that suits you depends on your own objectives.
There is no universally right choice. It depends on your goals, time horizon and existing holdings. DHHF charges 0.19% and VDAL charges 0.27%, so DHHF has the lower management fee, and they have approximately 92% estimated holdings overlap. Compare their fees, holdings and sectors above and consider each fund's Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination.
General information only.This comparison and the ETFLens tools on this page provide general information about two exchange-traded funds and do not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. It is not personal financial product or investment advice. ETFLens does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). Holdings overlap is calculated from each fund's published holdings (full lists where the issuer publishes one, listed top holdings otherwise), and fee data is sourced from fund manager PDS documents and updated quarterly. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Consider each fund's Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD), and seek advice from a registered tax agent or licensed financial adviser, before making investment decisions.
